Re: Don't be surprised when the Steelers....

ignore the needs at OL, Secondary and DL and draft LB Sean Weatherspoon at 18. I think that is a real possibility and something to watch develop over the next month.

That is a possibility, but which starting group is by far the oldest? We have a young QB, RB, OL, WR's average age is 27, LB's average is 28, secondary is 28, but the DL averages 32. I realize we went DL with our first pick last year, but if Jared Odrick is availabe at 18, he may get some serious consideration.

I wonder where his hometown is?

Hmmm....so what do you think? You've probably seen him quite a bit at Penn State?

I would love to have him. He is a beast.

I don't know if they will take a DE 2 years in a row... unless they are switching to a 4-3.

Odrick is my pick. I think he would be a great end in a 3-4 defense.

The Steelers’ went through seven consecutive drafts (2003-09) without taking an offensive lineman in the first two rounds, the longest such streak by any franchise this century.

Re: Don't be surprised when the Steelers....

I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd be very disappointed. Weatherspoon is a tough player. He runs well in a straight line and tackles well. But, he has average lateral agility and has ALWAYS had trouble getting off of blocks. If you watched the bowl game against Navy, you'd agree that this cat is a second round talent.

If we chose Weatherspoon over Spikes that would be really poor.

Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
